Forty-six chronic periodontitis patients visiting a dental hospital were included in this investigation. They were classified into four chronic periodontitis stages based on the sulcus bleeding index value and the probing depth. The tissue samples from the periodontal surgery were used for a direct PCR detection assay. A total of 49 samples from 46 patients were collected and classified into four chronic periodontitis groups (N: 6, P1: 13, P2: 18, P3: 12). The PCR assay showed that FN, PI, and PM were involved from the beginning of chronic periodontitis (P1), while AA and PG existed regardless of the disease stages. EF was strongly linked to the P3 stage of the disease. In order to assess the effect of dental treatments on patients with chronic periodontitis, EF should be a critical marker for P3 patients, while FN, PI, and PM would be good indicators for chronic periodontitis.

Considering that probiotics are being proposed as a support to the gold standard treatment Scaling-and-Root- Planing (SRP), this study aims to assess two new formulations (toothpaste and chewing-gum). 60 patients were randomly assigned to three domiciliary hygiene treatments: Group 1 (SRP + chlorhexidine-based toothpaste) (control), Group 2 (SRP + probiotics-based toothpaste) and Group 3 (SRP + probiotics-based toothpaste + probiotics-based chewing-gum). At baseline (T0) and after 3 and 6 months (T1–T2), periodontal clinical parameters were recorded, along with microbiological ones by means of a commercial kit. As to the former, no significant differences were shown at T1 or T2, neither in controls for any index, nor in the experimental

  • Structural Changes in the Oral Microbiome of the Adolescent
    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN Structural changes in the oral microbiome of the adolescent patients with moderate or severe dental fuorosis Qian Wang1,2, Xuelan Chen1,4, Huan Hu2, Xiaoyuan Wei3, Xiaofan Wang3, Zehui Peng4, Rui Ma4, Qian Zhao4, Jiangchao Zhao3*, Jianguo Liu1* & Feilong Deng1,2,3* Dental fuorosis is a very prevalent endemic disease. Although oral microbiome has been reported to correlate with diferent oral diseases, there appears to be an absence of research recognizing any relationship between the severity of dental fuorosis and the oral microbiome. To this end, we investigated the changes in oral microbial community structure and identifed bacterial species associated with moderate and severe dental fuorosis. Salivary samples of 42 individuals, assigned into Healthy (N = 9), Mild (N = 14) and Moderate/Severe (M&S, N = 19), were investigated using the V4 region of 16S rRNA gene. The oral microbial community structure based on Bray Curtis and Weighted Unifrac were signifcantly changed in the M&S group compared with both of Healthy and Mild. As the predominant phyla, Firmicutes and Bacteroidetes showed variation in the relative abundance among groups. The Firmicutes/Bacteroidetes (F/B) ratio was signifcantly higher in the M&S group. LEfSe analysis was used to identify diferentially represented taxa at the species level. Several genera such as Streptococcus mitis, Gemella parahaemolysans, Lactococcus lactis, and Fusobacterium nucleatum, were signifcantly more abundant in patients with moderate/severe dental fuorosis, while Prevotella melaninogenica and Schaalia odontolytica were enriched in the Healthy group. In conclusion, our study indicates oral microbiome shift in patients with moderate/severe dental fuorosis.

Examination of the gingiva is part of every patient visit. In this context, a thorough clinical and radiographic assessment of the patient’s gingival tissues provides the dental practitioner with invaluable diagnostic information that is critical to determining the health status of the gingiva. The dental hygienist is often the first member of the dental team to be able to detect the early signs of periodontal disease. In 2017, the American Academy of Periodontology (AAP) and the European Federation of Periodontology (EFP) developed a new worldwide classification scheme for periodontal and peri-implant diseases and conditions. Included in the new classification scheme is the category called “periodontal health, gingival diseases/conditions.” Therefore, this chapter will first review the parameters that define periodontal health. Appreciating what constitutes as periodontal health serves as the basis for the dental provider to have a stronger understanding of the different categories of gingival diseases and conditions that are commonly encountered in clinical practice. Learning Objectives • Define periodontal health and be able to describe the clinical features that are consistent with signs of periodontal health. • List the two major subdivisions of gingival disease as established by the American Academy of Periodontology and the European Federation of Periodontology.

Hasson*, Ernesto Matheu Wyld, Yaping Fan, Sonia W. Lingsweiller, Stephanie J. Weaver, Jinling Cheng, Patricia W. Varner Texas Veterinary Medical Diagnostic Lab, 1 Sippel Rd, College Station, Texas 77843, USA ABSTRACT: Presumptive systemic streptococcal infections were detected histologically in farmed Litopenaeus vannamei juveniles submitted from a Latin American country and the bacteria isolated. Characterization work demonstrated that the Gram-positive cocci form chains, grow aerobically and anaerobically, are oxidase- and catalase-negative, non-hemolytic, non-motile, Lancefield Group B positive and PCR positive when amplified with a universal streptococcal primer set. Differing Strep- tococcus identifications were obtained using API 20 Strep and Biolog systems, the former identifying the isolate as S. uberis and the latter as S. parauberis. Injection of specific pathogen-free (SPF) L. van- namei with the bacteria resulted in 100% mortality by 3 d post-injection with successful recovery of the agent from moribund test shrimp hemolymph samples. The recovered isolate was used in per os and waterborne exposure studies of SPF L. vannamei with mortalities ranging from 40 to 100% and 80 to 100%, respectively. Histologic analysis of 5 to 8 moribund shrimp from each exposure method demonstrated that all contained a severe bacteremia characterized by numerous free cocci within the hemolymph and aggregates of vacuolated hemocytes with notable intravacuolar cocci. This unique lesion type was most pronounced within the lymphoid organ and considered pathodiagnostic for this disease.

Shah Dental College and Hospital, Sumandeep Vidyapeeth, Piparia, Vadodara, Gujarat,India) Abstract: Background: Periodontal pathogens like Aggregatibactor Actinomycetemcomitans, Porphyromonas Gingivalis, and Prevotella Intermedia etc. are considered to be the primary etiologic factors for the periodontal diseases. Chlorhexidine is an antimicrobial agent considered to be gold standard which has a broad antibacterial activity and is normally used for chemical plaque control. But chlorhexidine is known to cause staining when used for a longer time. Hence other agents with herbal contents are being researched that can be used on regular basis. Materials and Methods: Minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC), Minimum bactericidal concentration (MBC) and Zone of Inhibition (ZOI) were used to assess the antibacterial effect of citrus sinensis extract against periodontal pathogens and it was compared to chlorhexidine using the micro dilution process and the culture method. Results: For Citrus Sinensis extract, MIC and MBC value of P.Gingivalis was 50ug/ml and of A. Actinomycetemcomitans & P. Intermedia was 100ug/ml.

Even though they are commensals of oral cavity, many species are associated with a variety of orodental as well as invasive human infections. As these isolates are exhibiting resistance to many antibiotics, an attempt is done in this study to evaluate antimicrobial activity of various herbal extracts from natural sources.
